Contraption

The million dollar question...

"Is it a rat, or is it a mouse?"

The game :D

A puzzle game made for Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1 
Theme: Nothing can go wrong

Make a contraption without setting it off! And get more stars by using more things!

The controls are simple

Just use your mouse to drag stuff around!

That's your task, what could possibly go wrong?
